Come to the Table: Why AJC’s Community Intergroup Seder Matters
On Tuesday, April 8, 2025, AJC Cincinnati will proudly host its 32nd Annual Community Intergroup Seder, a cherished gathering and cultural experience for local community members and leaders of diverse backgrounds. Led by Rabbi Matthew Kraus, this gathering is more than just a commemoration of Passover—it is an opportunity to foster reflection and understanding in a time when our world needs it most.
Passover is one of the most significant holidays in Jewish tradition. It marks the Israelites' journey from enslavement in Egypt to freedom, a story deeply embedded in Jewish history and identity. The Seder, a ritual meal held during Passover, is structured with prayers, symbolic foods, and storytelling, guiding participants through the timeless themes of hardship, resilience, and liberation.
However, the Seder transcends religious boundaries. Its core themes—freedom, justice, and the pursuit of a better world—resonate universally, making it an event that people from all walks of life can connect with on a deeply personal level. By attending the Community Intergroup Seder, participants engage in a shared experience that fosters dialogue, mutual understanding, and a renewed commitment to building a more inclusive society.
With global conflicts, domestic divisions, and rising societal challenges, the importance of community events that emphasize shared understanding cannot be overstated. The AJC Cincinnati Community Intergroup Seder serves as a reminder that freedom and justice are not static achievements, but ongoing pursuits. It also provides a space where people can step away from daily struggles and come together in a spirit of solidarity and hope.
This year’s Seder will be particularly special, featuring personal narratives from community members and leaders who bring unique perspectives to the evening’s discussions. Attendees will hear from individuals involved in the immigrant and criminal justice spaces, as well as guests from Israel who will share their own reflections on the Seder’s themes and help deepen the Seder experience, transforming it from a historical commemoration into a relevant and urgent conversation.
As we quickly approach April 8, 2025, consider taking part in this extraordinary event. The AJC Cincinnati’s 32nd Annual Community Intergroup Seder is more than a delicious lunch from Café Alma or a ritual; it is a powerful reminder of the importance of history, storytelling, and collective action. In a world that often feels divided, this Seder offers a chance to come together, listen, learn, and reaffirm our shared humanity.
If you would like to attend, please REGISTER HERE by April 3rd.
